This special exhibition highlights the work of six Seattle area artists with over 20 artistic interpretations of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s work with partners over the last 20 years. These artworks are organized into four themes that are key to the foundation’s work.

• • Ensuring more children and young people survive and thrive
  • Empowering the poorest, especially women and girls
  • Combating infectious diseases that particularly affect the poorest
  • Inspiring people to take action to change the world

Artists began creating their artworks for this exhibition in January 2020 just as COVID-19 was spreading throughout the world. This had a strong influence on their work.
